After a lot of hard work and with the support from our family, friends, employees and customers we have regained a bit of normalcy. We now have phone lines at Marina Seca, we also have temporary water supply in the office (a very long hose from the main street to the office).  We launched our first big boat yesterday and hauled a new boat to our yard.  As they say WE ARE GOOD TO GO!!

As you can see in the picture below the work area installations were washed away, we are rebuilding and will get services back online beginning of next week.  Work area will be very limited in space until the west side is rehabilitated, this will take some time so please let us know in advance when and how long you need to be in the work area.

Access to the yard is now open to those who have owners permission to take care of their boat.

We still don’t have water, sewer or land line phone.  We are hoping to have all three services in the office by Tuesday, we have two clients living on board their boats with no showers or bathrooms.  Sorry!!  We are working hard to have water and power back on east side of Work Area by the end of next week.  Below is a picture of the amount of debris along the work yard, once we remove all of this and check the water and power lines we will know how fast we can get it fixed. We have 22 workers shoveling mud out from under every boat.

Here you see the Telmex workers repairing the phone lines.

80% of our road to Marina Seca was washed away.. we are now grading and preparing the street for its new pavement.  Boats on trailers we can now splash your boat at any time, the grader will make a temporary access for the small boats and vehicles. Boats on stands, for the next 15 days we will need to schedule in advance boats that need to splash.  The temporary road will be to bumpy for large boats, the less we have to stop the machinery to move boats the better, so unless you were already planing to splash your boat we ask that you please wait.

As you can see in the picture below the San Carlos main street on north side is badly damaged, we only have the south side for both lanes. Moving boats will create a bit of a traffic jam until the road is repaired.

Boat owners are welcome to Dry Storage to inspect their boats during business hours, we still recommend that you wait at least another week before coming to San Carlos. But if you are here and wish to see your boat, we’ll be happy to walk you in.

We currently have 3 security guards at night on motorcycles to keep the area secure.  We received 1300 feet of chain link fence today that we are already installing on south side of new area at dry storage.  As the equipment cleans and compacts the area where the fence was we will be installing the new fence.

We apolagize for the delay in answering emails today, we had to move all office employees from Marina Seca to an empty commercial space at Marina Terra.  With no running water, sewer, phone lines, DSL and clean up in the office they needed to go. We had to move servers, computers (the ones we had left) etc..  we are all sharing a 3G wireless card to communicate..

Kudos to our operators!! Our operators finished moving all trailerable boats this morning from the fence back to their place.  All trailer boats have been checked for water and pumped out if necessary, if you haven’t received an email confirming this please be patient we didn’t have our system up and running today. There’s debris on almost all the boats between the trailer and boat, our next step is to power wash all the dirt and branches from these boats.  Jesus is checking each boat for damage and will report in detail to each client if their boat has damage.  

Don Alfredo is back after much needed rest, he was at dry storage during the storm and is now ready to keep the boats safe again.  He said ” I will never forget what happened here”.  It was his shift Wednesday night, he never thought the shift wouldn’t end until Friday morning. We couldn’t call him or pick him up he was all alone with no food or water just is companion “chiquita” the dog who he said would follow him crying.  Thank you Alfredo!!!

Here you see him next to the guard house

over 200 hundred truck loads later we now have to shovel our way under the boats to move them from the work yard.  We hope to have services on the east side of the work area by the end of next week.
